"We scored three goals from the run of play," Timbers coach Caleb Porter said. "They scored two goals from the run of play, so how about our attack?"

Up until the beginning of May, the Timbers had scored just nine goals over eight games and produced just one multi-goal performance.

Since then, Portland has scored 14 goals in just six games.

And Argentine forwards Maximiliano Urruti and Gaston Fernandez are finally coming into their own in MLS. Both forwards added a goal Sunday and remained tied for the team lead in goals with six each.

After Urruti scored twice to help the Timbers beat the New York Red Bulls 2-1 on May 24, Porter said that the Argentine striker had maybe lost confidence earlier in the season.

Urruti is certainly playing with confidence now. He has scored in the last three games that he's played in, two of those goals coming within the first five minutes of games.

When the offense was struggling in the beginning of the season, Porter was asked if he felt the team needed a target forward like they had in Ryan Johnson last season.

The 6-foot-1 Johnson used his physicality to score nine goals for the Timbers in 2013 and Portland seemed to be missing the same kind of tall and physical forward this year.

Neither Urruti (6-0) or Fernandez (5-7) fit the bill of a traditional imposing target forward, but both are on pace to score more goals than Johnson contributed in 2013.

The Timbers also acquired more of a target-type forward in the 6-4 Fanendo Adi, whom the squad picked up on a short-term loan in the middle of May.

Adi already has scored two goals and added two assists in just 136 minutes and has proved to be a talented technical player as well.

On Sunday, Adi juggled a ball in the box before sending a fabulous volley to Will Johnson in the 86th minute to earn his second assist of the season.

Porter has talked a lot about liking to have versatility in the No. 9 spot, and he now has three dangerous scoring threats to chose from as he makes his starting lineup for Saturday's game against Real Salt Lake.
